I think you underestimate the skill/knowledge gap present in people who can download and tinker with an existing program vs. deploy it in a sensible way so that people can interact with it. I have friends in different areas of tech who might be able to complete basic projects but would struggle to get them out there without a little guidance.

- There's absolutely no reason to think they have a fine-tuned model ready. - There are multiple strong indicators from the poster themself they specifically do not. - It's dispiriting to see a long comment chain dedicated to picking apart a good, helpful, response. - It's uncomfortable to be told I'm underestimating skill/knowledge gap, after I purposely bracketed it. - It's uncomfortable to be told I'm underestimating skill/knowledge gap, after I specifically said "I don't like asserting that because it's not guaranteed, and I really don't want to get in a pissing match about this."

  When this stuff happens to me, I try to imagine that people accidentally tapped the down arrow, because it is so close to the up arrow. Enjoy my upvote!

  I'm pissed too, when such happens. But that's the way it goes. One can choose between two questions: - Am I important, ain't I? - what can I buy of the HN KarmaPoints? I mostly choose the second question and answer it briefly: Nothing. And then I realize, for what it's worth: it's worth nothing and I can't buy anything with it. I learn to be not pissed on the Internet. I think it's an important skill.

    No, actually, you're allowed to post and tease people who are saying nothing. The karma is just a useful framing as to why, people don't like it when you tease for no reason. (I only mentioned it once briefly lol, 4 comments up, relax buddy)

      My fault I always make is to ask after the initial comment and negative points for it: "why no text but minus points. it's just some random points on the Internet. I can't care less, if you down vote, so feel free .." .... Sudden death reply: "So then why you feel important to tell that you don't care if you don't care?" Nailed on the spot :)
